The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 150 Wife

After two days, the two finally arrived in the village where the old man stayed with his granddaughter. Surprisingly, the village looked just like any other human village back in the human world.

"So, they can’t really tell that we are humans, right?" she whispered while looking at the window in the tea house. The village was not actually that big. It had one inn, one tea house, and two restaurants.

However, she was surprised to see that most people here already have physical bodies. In Fang Yu’s expectations, the village looked like a real ghost village with only two or three families living inside it. Who would have thought that this village was actually occupied by more or less five hundred people?

"They can tell but they won’t hurt us." Mo Li assured her. Clearly, these people don’t have any supernatural abilities or Qi. Why would they fight someone powerful and risk disappearing forever?

Fang Yu nodded and drank her tea. Just the thought that these people were actually ghosts was making her tense.

"Good Day, Good Immortals please follow me, the village chief is waiting for you in his house." A skinny young man bowed in front of their table.

Seeing this, both Fang Yu and Mo Li eyed each other. Then they nodded and followed the man towards the northern part of the village. After two minutes of walking, they arrived in a four-story house that looked like a pagoda. Next to the house was a small lake with a lot of different flowers and few trees.

"The flowers were planted by the Young Miss. She also personally takes care of everything inside the garden." The boy explained when he saw Fang Yu stared at the flowers. She nodded in response and walked inside the house.

The red wooden tile immediately caught Fang Yu’s attention. A beautiful chandelier that seemed to matched the red tile hung above them. Everything inside were either red or black. It reminded her of some gothic houses.

"The first floor is for other guests. Please follow me to the Village Chief’s study on the second floor." The man led them towards the wooden stairs. It didn’t take too long for them to arrive at the Old Man Klum’s study.

"Ah! Good Immortal! Please take your seats." The old man tried to stand up from his seat but ended up coughing. "Please accept my apology for not personally welcoming you. But.. I have been sick since I arrive a few days ago."

Of course, this was enough to surprise Fang Yu. She didn’t know that Ghosts have the capability of getting sick. They are already dead people. So how come they still get sick?

As if sensing her question, she heard Mo Li chuckle in her head. ’You don’t understand this dimension.’ His deep voice echoed. ’People who develop physical bodies would be like a normal human. They grow old, get sick, and die. After that, they would finally reincarnate back into the world of humans.’

"..." That is very weird but it somehow make sense. Of course, Fang Yu didn’t say anything and just waited for the village chief to say something.

"Well... it had been a really long journey. So, I would like to invite the good immortals to please stay in my simple abode. I already prepared two rooms for you."

"I would like to stay in one room." Mo Li said.

"Good Immortal... This..."

"Is there something wrong?" Fang Yu asked.

"No... No.... It’s just that in this pagoda, a man and a woman is not allowed in the same room unless their souls were bounded and tied together. As you know... the people living in these dimensions are not really humans. So we have different customs."

"Is that so?" Mo Li lifted an eyebrow. "Then... we will leave." Just as he was about to stand up, the door of the study opened, revealing Lara who was bringing some tea for everyone. Just like the day that they saw her, she was wearing another red cheongsam that perfectly fit her body.

"I brought some of our finest tea for our good immortals."

"Don’t mind that." Mo Li waved his hands. "We are leaving." He stood and grabbed Fang Yu’s hands. He wanted to find a reason to leave this place as soon as possible and it seems that he already found one. Mo Li was adamant to spend his stay with Fang Yu in his arms.

He wanted his honeymoon.

And not even the king of this world would be able to stop him.

As a demon who already lived thousands of years and still never have a wife, Mo Li was convinced that he deserved at least ten years of honeymoon in every world.

"This... please Good Immortal... this is a part of our custom. Please don’t leave. Please accept my apology."

"Grandfather, what is happening?"

"Lara... my good granddaughter please don’t mind us and just serve us the tea." The old man forced a smile and give an apologetic look at Mo Li. Who would have known that the man was more difficult to handle than the woman? He was expecting Fang Yu to protest the arrangement and not Mo Li.

"It’s alright old man." Mo Li uttered. "Don’t waste your breath anymore. We are leaving." He then sent a voice transmission towards Fang Yu. ’We are already here. Let’s steal the lotus tonight. I know where it is.’

His words immediately made Fang Yu smiled inwardly. Since he already knew where the lotus was then there is no point in staying here anymore.

"Please good immortal. Please...." Of course, seeing the resolute expression on Mo Li’s face, the old man immediately panicked. He stood from his seat and almost fell down as he walked towards Mo Li and Fang Yu. "Please forgive this old man. This old man has become muddled. Please help us. Please.... Good immortal. I will arrange the best rooms for you outside of the pagoda. We have a house just behind the pagoda that no one is using. I can guarantee the safety of the house. It is also a small house with only one room. I hope the Good Immortal would take it instead."

Mo Li squinted his eyes at the old man. "So, you didn’t offer us the small house because you thought it was small and we wouldn’t like it?"

"Ye—Yes Good Immortal."

Mo Li sneered and look at his wife, silently asking what her decision was.

’Let’s just stay here.’ Fang Yu sent a voice transmission. ’This environment is good plus I am interested to know more about the plants and herbs in this world.’

"Alright." Mo Li uttered. "We will take the small house."

The old man immediately let out a sigh of relief. "Lara... please guide them to the house at the back." He sent his granddaughter a silent signal telling her to use this opportunity well.

"Of course." Lara elegantly curtsied towards her grandfather and gave Mo Li a brilliant smile. "Good Immortal. Please follow me."

Holding Fang Yu’s little silky hand, Mo Li followed Lara at the back of the residence. It didn’t take too long for them to arrive at the one-story house at the back of the Pagoda.

"Good Immortal... this house was built even before the pagoda was built years ago. It is complete with amenities that humans can use. Unfortunately, this house was not equipped with things that an immortal cultivator would need. This was supposed to be for other visitors who don’t qualify to stay in the pagoda." She gave a wry smile and walked inside the house.

"Good enough."

"Lara," Lara said. "I hope the Good Immortal would call me Lara." She smiled.

"Alright. You can leave now." Mo Li didn’t even spare the woman a glance as he motioned him to leave.

Seeing this Lara bit her lips. She had already forgotten everything about being human but isn’t it simple etiquette to also tell her what his name was after she asked him to call her by her first name? She eyed Mo Li before she lowered her gaze.

"Why are you still here?" Mo Li asked. "Do you need anything?"

"No— No— but if the Good Immortal needed something please don’t hesitate to call me. I will be here anytime."

"Alright." Mo Li said, half irritated. "Leave now. I am busy with my wife."

The word ’wife’ made Lara tremble. Wife? Does that mean they are married? She immediately wondered if their souls had been bound too.

"I will leave. Have a wonderful rest." She hurried towards her grandfather. She needed to tell the old man that the two immortals were actually married as this would change all of their plans.

"Why did you tell her that I am your wife?" Fang Yu asked as she watched Lara left. In response, Mo Li lifted her chin up, making her look at him.

"Why not?" He lifted an eyebrow. "You are my wife."

"I know. But... it would have made it more fun if they don’t know. Then we can just throw it in their faces soon."

He snorted and lowered his head to kiss her. "I like to be more direct." He said in between the kisses.
